Fairey Swordfish

The venerable, extraordinary and much loved Fairey Swordfish - one of the unsung heroes of WWII. Regarded as obsolete at the onset of hostilities it went on to outlive aircraft designed to replace it and provided sterling service in all theatres throughout the war. Perfectly suited to the demands of warfare at sea and, in particular, service on MAC ships or small escort carriers, it sank a greater tonnage of enemy shipping than any other British aircraft. It could cope with almost any role it was asked to perform and could carry a ton of ordnance which was greater than the twin engine Blenheim bomber. We maintain the last two flying examples in the world (W5856 & LS326) here at our hangar at RNAS Yeovilton.

Perhaps not ideal for a certain famous Danish lager, but still probably the best Battle of Taranto mug in the world. We'd like to say the same about the table mat.

The mug is ideal for coffee, tea, hot chocolate and possibly even a tot of rum!

Both offer details of the Naval Air Squadrons involved, the individual aircrews, the aircraft and their markings, munitions carried, flight movements, damage inflicted etc.

They are both a history lesson and a commemoration of a highly successful, innovative and critical naval air action in which individuals demonstrated extreme courage.

Success at Taranto changed the balance of power in the Mediterranean. This not only had dramatic repercussions in naval terms, but also in assisting the North African Campaign and providing the blue print for the Japanese to attack at Pearl Harbour. It started the decline in importance of the capital ship as the aircraft carrier rose to the ascendant.

The Fleet Air Arm have numerous battle honours of which they are justly proud, but bravery isn't just about combat. Flying from moving ships at sea, often in appalling conditions, is courageous in itself without the added hazards of dangerous combat mission. During both world wars and in global conflicts since, Fleet Air Arm pilots have willingly and enthusiastically strapped themselves into their aircraft and taken off into all weathers and often against the odds.

What an extraordinary aircraft the Fairey Swordfish turned out to be. Born at the end of the biplane era, this was an aircraft apparently totally unsuited to fight the war in which it became embroiled. Despite being deemed obsolete at the onset of hostilities, it not only outlived aircraft designed to replace it, but it gave sterling service, virtually unchanged, in all theatres throughout the war.

This reliable and manoeuvrable aircraft, much loved by its crews, had it's major honours at Taranto and in the sinking of the Bismarck, but it also played a huge part in the Battle of the Atlantic and with the Arctic convoys as well as campaigns across the globe.

This is the story of the marathon 26 month restoration of the world's oldest flying Fairey Swordfish, W5856, filmed at their Brough factory by British Aerospace in the 90's.

W5856 is currently hangared with the Royal Navy Historic flight at RNAS Yeovilton and is still a regular and popular display aircraft at air shows around the UK.

Fairey Swordfish LS326 (MkII) HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED by W5856, the oldest flying example and another of the aircraft carefully maintained in the hangar here at RNAS Yeovilton. Most of her wartime career was spent in the Mediterranean. This is an accurate diecast model of a real life icon who earned her laurels flying over the white horses that concealed a deadly threat to our survival.

The moving story of youths turning to young men as they fight a well equipped and determined enemy with outmoded equipment and often in appalling conditions. Perhaps lacking the glamour of flying from the great carriers, those who flew from MAC ships (merchant ships converted to carry aircraft) nonetheless made a huge contribution to winning the Battle of the Atlantic.

Sub Lt Stanley Brand pranged W5856, the world's oldest flying Fairey Swordfish, in 1944 due to an engine failure on take off. We're happy to report that W5856 currently resides in our hangar and is a very popular addition at air displays around the UK.

We've put together a package for all lovers of the Fairey Swordfish. Two books (Achtung Swordfish and War in a Stringbag) are wonderfully evocative descriptions of young men fighting a hard war in an antiquated (but much loved) aircraft and often in appalling conditions. The detailed die cast model is of our own W5856 who saw active service in the Mediterranean and is looking forward to displaying again next season (your purchases will contribute to keeping her flying). Stanley BRand, the author of Achtung! Swordfish! actually pranged W5856 in 1944. This collection will also come with a canvas swatch from a Swordfish signed by the late Lt Cdr Bruce Vibert who flew Swordfish from the escort carrier HMS Fencer.

Lt Cdr Bruce Vibert was a veteran Swordfish pilot who saw active service in the Battle of the Atlantic and the Arctic convoys (during which he despatched U674). Sadly he passed away a short time ago. He had a lifetime passion for this remarkable aircraft and was a great supporter of Navy Wings.

There are only 2 flying Fairey Swordfish in the world and both have their home with Navy Wings at RNAS Yeovilton. Regarded as hopelessly obsolete at the beginning of WWII, it emerged at the end of the conflict as a legendary icon. It acquitted itself well in all the theatres, in particular on anti-submarine duty in the Battle of the Atlantic and with the Arctic convoys, but also in such actions as Taranto and the sinking of the Bismarck. An extraordinary record for an extraordinary aircraft.

Package includes a neatly framed swatch of Swordfish linen signed by Bruce Vibert and a card with a picture of Bruce in service and brief details of his career.

Picture frame size 7.5"x 7.5"

The Battle of the Atlantic was the longest and most complex campaign of WWII. Fairey Swordfish, launched from Escort carriers and MAC ships, played a huge part in winning that war. These wonderful aircraft, so well suited to the task, flew in all weathers and proved to be a superb deterrent to the German U boats, reducing allied ship losses to a minimum.

This limited edition print (250) shows Swordfish LS326 setting out on yet another cold patrol and has original signatures of veteran aircrew including those who flew in the Atlantic and at the Battle of Taranto.

It's a stunning image that will enhance any home and is an opportunity to own a piece of history. It is also a fitting tribute to the bravery of the pilot's and crew.

Supplied with certificate of authenticity.

This high quality mug is finished with a stunning image of Fairey Swordfish LS326 against a backdrop of churning clouds, sunlight and shadows. LS326 currently resides in our hangar. She spent part of her active service fighting in the Battle of the Atlantic, so vistas like these would have been every day occurrences for her crews as they scoured the seas for signs of U boats and surface raiders.

The Channel Dash is famous for the extraordinary bravery shown by Swordfish Crews as they attempted to sink elements of the German Fleet as they sped up the channel.

This image captures the frantic efforts of aircraft and ships against overwhelming odds.

The artist, RJ Mitchell, was a young 18 year old telegraphist serving on MTB 48 during the Channel Dash and is shown standing on the deck to starboard of the bridge with a rifle.

The Fairey Swordfish achieved legendary status in WWII and this evocative picture includes W5856 and LS326 in the snow with St Bartholomew's church (regarded as 'the Fleet Air Arm Church') at Yeovilton in the background.

This limited edition print (just 200) has the original signatures of two renowned WWII veterans and four pilots from the, sadly now defunct, Royal Navy Historic Flight. Both these aircraft reside in our Navy Wings hangar and with your ongoing support we hope to be flying them at public events for years to come.

This is your opportunity to own a piece of history that will look superb in any home.

Supplied with a certificate of authenticity.
